Trae Tha Truth Talks Strip Club Shooting

It’s going to take more than a shooting outside of a strip club to throw Trae Tha Truth off his game. Following the violent eruption at Houston’s Scores Cabaret that left three people dead and two injured earlier in the week, the rapper told XXL that he still doesn’t know how things escalated. “I’m not sure exactly what the altercation was necessarily about, but long story short, whatever transpired, they ran in my direction, so in the process of running in my direction, that kind of had everybody in the open,” he said. “So as the altercation came my way, shots were being dispersed, but since it was coming [in] our direction, it was a crowd of people. Everybody was [at the] wrong place, [at the] wrong time.”

After the incident, Trae—who sustained a gunshot wound to his back—was taken to a local hospital. “As far as my condition, I’m in the healing process, tryin’ to figure out how to get this bullet removed. The bullet’s still in my shoulder. They changing bandages now and it’s still bleeding.”

Since one of the victims killed was a member of his ABN (A**holes By Nature) family, detectives took Trae “directly from the hospital,” for questioning. Authorities have yet to apprehend any suspects connected to the shooting.
